Canada.
If there's any nation
who had a stone from another universe
and you had to be from amongst that
tribe
to go see that stone. Who's the only
people who have a stone on this earth
and you have to have the visa of
on your heart. This was a rhetorical one
but you go for it.
Where do Muslims have? Where do Muslims have
a stone that is from outside? Go say
it. The Kaaba. The Kaaba. And what's inside
the Kaaba? The
hot stone. Say it in English. Blackstone.
Blackstone.

second. Not on TV, honey. One second. Can

Everyone who seen Kaaba, make du'a that these
people see the house of Allah. Make du'a
that right now,
Now, if you wanna hear me recite Quran
more, I'm gonna request you lean off your
chair.
I know it's tough.
I understand.
It will be conjugated in your head, you'll
get it. If you could sit with a
posture
and my request is that you make dua
for every person. Put your phone away with
flash, man. I got 900
I have 900 of lights and you guys
are like,
Stop it. I'm a person. Can you imagine
if I gave my talk

So, please.
My kids ask me, who listens to your
talks, papa?
My kid really like, people come to your
talks, papa? I was like, sometimes.
Sometimes they
do. He'll And they said, why?
I don't know. Don't know about that one.
So put your light away. I can see
you. I'm a person. I'm staring at
you.
Hi, Canada.
Real request. How many of us would like
to see the house of Allah?
If you could genuinely believe Thank you. Put
your hand down. I'm showing us how quickly
we can do this. If we can do
this, we can quickly do this. So I
ask you, and when I say the word,
can you
When I say, wambana.
Now I want you to think
of hasana is looking at the Kaaba.
Hasana is standing. Your kids who watch TV
all day are looking at the Kaaba and
they're frozen. No one's looking at their phone
and you're taking pictures.
And you are standing there having that experience.
Can you say,
O Allah, now. When you make this dua,
and you're looking at the Kaaba, and you're
doing the ugly cry, it's okay. That's why
we don't make wear mascara
in tawaf. Can we just pound on one
one second? If you ever wanted a reason,
why should I wear mascara in tawaf? I
got one. I got a reason. Can you
go ugly cry and then what you're gonna
do? Maybelline? I don't know.
So, maybe
you see this
as your flawless to Allah
That you feel flawless in front of your
lord with your fresh face. So my request
for everyone who is able to do that
answer the second question,
As miraculous
as out of this universe,
what thing do you have probably as an
app on your phone and a 100,000 copies
and massages around the world? What is equal
to the black stone came from another universe
and has guidance within it, and I don't
have to fly somewhere to get it. Baba,
what is that thing?
Thank you. Mama? Mama answered. I asked baba.
Mama was like,
thank you. Bark
law and feet. Y'all said it first, but
we know Islam. Yes. Throw it up for
getting signs. Oh, I got it.
I don't know who I just represented right
there but you know how it is. My
Muslim folks will take care of me.
Ladies,
what is that thing that is miraculous?
Now, who is the only creature Don't talk
to me about a bird in the UK
who can recite surah raman.
Who's the only creature who can create the
sounds of Quran?
Human beings.
So, my request to us today is let
us rise for one minute. If you could
stand up off your tush, get it off
the cush and say, oh, dear. Look at
that. Oh, dear. Look at that.
Fikum Dan Kashin. There you go. Don't you
know? Alright. And those of you who are
sitting,
that's what I say to you.
May all your children become.
A person.
Thank you. I'm gonna now ask you to
recite Quran. Please do not pick up your
phone while we're reciting Quran because I can
see when you go,
Instagram,
Stop it.
Would you put your body weight in your
heels, brothers? Your mama didn't hug you? Why
you stand like this?
It's cold in here? You all are open.
You can imagine Gabriel came to Rasulullah, saw
some hands crossed, leaning against the wall. Friends,
would you for a second? I said don't
cross your hands. Some teenager said, I'll show
you bro.
I'll show you bro. Stay right back at
me bro. Stare right back at me. Look
it's so much fun now, isn't it?
Open heart. Where does guidance enter your body?
Oh, yeah. We'll do it together, baby. We
will do it all day. I got 6
kids. I will do it all day. Let's
play.
So my request to you all, where does
guidance enter your body? Through your head? Through
your feet? Where does the only place that
you could say heart? So why do you
stand like this? Look. I'm afraid of you.
I'm afraid. We need to go slow with
this. The words in the beginning of our
relationship and you're yelling at me, it's too
much. It's too much.
Take
it slow. Together, uncross your arms. I'd like
you to make 5 sounds with me. These
are the 5 bass sounds that the entire
Quran is made of. It is the a
of an apple. It is the e of
feel. It is the o o of cool.
Could you please repeat?
There are 2 more sounds. Some of you
sound like coyotes, but I understand it's a
Canadian thing. I said a, e, oh, and
they made moose sounds.
Understandable.
Ladies, after these three basic sounds, when I
say,
You have a, I, u. There are 2
more sounds that make up the rest of
the sounds. Can you think about? What are
the 2 more sounds after
a, e,
o,
a
flawless. One more time. When I say,
aeoula.
80%
of your, I don't have a good voice
is in these 5 sounds.
So when you say, but Jake, I don't
have a good voice. A, pause. How many
people feel like you don't have a good
voice? Just real
quick. Yeah. By the way, and I'm kinda
overweight too and real talk though. Hang on.
Bear with me for a second. Ladies,
when I hear I don't like my voice.
Real talk. Real talk. What is this sentence?
It's a complaint.
Do you like when you complain?
Do you not like your voice or do
you not like what you're talking about?
So for a moment,
from a place of dignity,
from a place when Gabriel grabbed Muhammad salallahu
alaihi wa sallam and said,
what did he say?
I can't read. He said a vulnerability.
He said, I'm weak. I'm I'm not Arab.
I'm Arab. I don't have good tajweed. Just
fill in your adlib.
And Gabriel was confused.
I'm not used to this non compliance,
Iqra. When I tell mountains to collapse, they
collapse. Hey, Muhammad. Iqra.
And he said,
He said his vulnerability. I love my shoes
too. He said, his vulnerability.
Would you fill in your vulnerability to Allah?
I can't read. I'm this color. I'm that
nation. I was hit as a child. Would
you
fit the this is what I'm not?
And when Gabriel said read, he said, I
can't. So what was the magic ingredient
that he added to ichorot? Tell me. So
on the 3rd, yes. What was that magic
ingredient? He ripped the top off and he
poured in the magic ingredient. When you can't,
of course you can. You're human.
What do you add to the ingredient that
makes you invincible?
Sir, who said god? Those who said Allah?
You can't do anything. Duh. You had to
go to the bathroom before you came here.
We can't do anything. And this human flesh,
when does it become most pure? When you
add what ingredient to this?
So from this posture,
we got the crowd going. Before the beat
drops, can you say,
a uzu?
Pucker your lips. Remember there are only 5
sounds for those of you trying to choke
this. Stop. All Arabs are walking around bulimic.
But that's what you're trying to do. So
slap it.
Stop it. Something wrong with you because Arabs
don't sound like that but you're trying to
project
one sound which is an ah. Ah is
not that much.
So would you, Susie, pucker your lips?
Don't drop.
Count it out.
What is a
It could only be me.
Can you say,
me nesh.
Me nesh.
Sheyitlawnirwanjim.
I thought she didn't like your voice.
The Quran comes built in with a melody.
Just blows it. I love it. Let her
do her thing.
If you laugh, you you won't memorize the
Quran.
Oh. Alright.
Thank you and I appreciate you. Because the
irony is if someone came in here and
said, you won $10,000,000
and they had a check, you wouldn't care
about any of the people around you. But
as soon as someone said, I would be
like, oh my god. We're Canadian. We don't
speak out loud.
I will tell you a story while you're
standing. I landed and was not here for
an hour
and I went to the 711. Don't be
so interested by a lady screaming fam. I'm
a lot prettier. Let's just talk about that
right now.
I walked into a 711.
There was a, lady of my complexion behind
the counter. She had a nose ring, a
little bit older lady. And a gentleman who
had a swollen eye, was clearly homeless, was
cussing at her and saying, ah, blank blank
blank. He had a lot of ficker. Let
me tell you that much.
And as he's cussing, I'm like, I just
came to your country but is this how
this works here? And people just lined up.
This guy's cussing and cussing. I'm like,
okay.
And then, I turned and gave him all
of New York.
I gave him all of New York. I
bought him a hot dog at the end.
It wasn't zabiha. It's okay.
I defused the situation
but when I finished, 3 people in this
7 11 said, you're a good man. Thank
you, sir. People don't do that around here.
I was like, how long you're gonna let
this guy bark?
So friends,
Canadians.
Bar Canadias.
Let's read. Let's read. What? We're throwing down
now? If we're gonna throw down, no problem.
With jujitsu march, whatever one you want to
choose, let's go.
So now, sit at the end of your
chair. My request.
When you sit down,
please sit at the end of your chair.
Ladies, I ask you a question as you
sit down. How many of you looked back
to sit down?
Was the chair gonna leave darling? How many
All of the men did it to Yeah.
I'll be here. How much?
By where was it going to go?
You're afraid. You're not aware of your midsection.
I know you're afraid.
You just got up. There's a chair behind
you, my love. How many of you looked
to see if the chair was there?
Thank you, sir. It's okay. I request. The
other you're like,
what if No. It wouldn't have gone anywhere.
Habits.
So today, would you write 5 components?
Anyone can raise their hand that you can
recite Quran now with these 5. These 5
simple,
e, o, o, a.
But you have to accept one thing.
Yeah. Accept one thing. What's easier?
To work hard and recite Quran and sound
like a whale giving birth or
my rvas is not good and sit on
your tui and watch something on Netflix. What's
easier, Amu?
Thank you. They're like, what's a Dewey? We'll
figure that out later.
For now,

How What's easier? My voice is It doesn't

of you wanna sound good when you recite
Quran? Real question.
Okay. Now, I'm sorry for the setup. This
is a real question.

What's his dad's number? You know that's why
you led Maghrib.
You know that's why you led Maghrib. Like,

So, today, I am asking you to call
the spade a spade.
You wanna sound better for someone else? You
wanna sound better for Allah?
The real answer is, so then who cares
what you sound to everyone else?
When someone says, oh, you don't. You're not.
You don't do this. It's, oh, it should
be like this. I'm trying and I try
every single day.
So, today, 5 components.
Would you tell me what's the fur We're
gonna do these together. Can you tell me
what's the first revelation to all the mankind?
You could call it out. First revelation to
all mankind, sir? Yes?

gum. Friends, was the first aya revealed to
mankind? You're back to hugging yourselves.
Why y'all like teasing me like this? You

Iqra.
Chewing gum.
I can't be bothered. Stop it. Read Quran
properly. First thing, can you write it down?
Of our 5 infinity stones, the Quran wanted
before anything.
T for
The Quran wants to be recited and you
understand after coming down from the mountain, you
know this already. 2nd or third revelation to
mankind,
Surah

I could do this all day. We're going
on the road. We're going on the road,
get in the tour bus. Let's go.
Friends,
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said the second thing,
With 6 ayahs revealed,
my Nabi was asked to pray all night.
What does that mean he did to those
6 verses?
What he you got
you have 6 hours. You got 7 ayahs.
What you gonna do?
Say again.
Take your time. Number 1.

I know. He's like, my cousin's sister.
Stop it.
No. Who is Musamil in the scenario?
My cousin. No. Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam.
Who's Mudafir?
Muhammad salallahu alaihi wa sallam. So could you
consider
hearing the Quran
and who's the recipient?
You are.
How many times would you say that?
I don't know what examples to give you.
I don't know who's cool to you.
1 of my speaker people that I look
up to, he came and sat next to
me.
And I was shocked. And he goes, hey,
I listened to some of your talks.
They're really good. I was I was
blackpinking,
beetling. I was fanboying like a I was
like, really? You like me?
You acknowledge
me?
I'm
real?
Would you take a moment to say, when
you read the Quran, you're acknowledging that Allah
knows you. And that Allah
is out to help you. So number 1,
number 2,
Does the Quran have a way to be
recited? Yes. Absolutely. If I took your favorite
rap album and I
spoke it out of cadence,
just out of cadence,
because you know you're all like, oh, which
one is he gonna do? Stop it. Get
some help.
You know you were like, yeah. I try.
If I took anyone, you could call it
out and I said the cadence wrong and
I pronounced it wrong. Parents, if I pronounced
your beloved,
Bollywood songs a little bit out of
Goragari,
What would happen?
You messed it up completely.
Does the Quran have a melody? Yes. My
request is that you open,
your phone now as we have a few
moments left.
And now I said phones. So now, you
do what I done told you to do.
You want me to try that one more
time? Take your phones out, friends. You're too
young to have a phone. Friends, take your
phones out. Take your phones out and if
you could open to
any, it's called Quran wbw.com. Quran. You wanna
use my phone? Yeah. My wife won't allow
that.
And my daughters will be very upset. At
the last conference, a little girl came with
a peep of paper and said, can you
be my father?
And my daughter's hoop earrings came out and
all her Brooklyn was like, who?
Say it again. My daughter's hoop earrings came
out and she got Quran
wbwdot
com. Man, y'all don't say please or thank
you. One question. Y'all want No. Don't thank
you. Y'all wanna fight? My name is Wissam.
I'll see you outside. No problem.
I live crooklyn on the rise, baby. Anytime.
Don't worry. Brothers, shalom.
Can we open to Quran w b w?
Can you click a word? When you touch
the word, what happens?
Thank you. Any single word. How many of
us not able to read Quran just yet?
How many of us are reading? Thank you,
sir. The rest of them are lying on
a Saturday. How many of us are reading
Quran and are stuck on a word?
Thank you. You can click any single word.
How many m p threes are in your
hand right now? 17,300
m p threes at the touch of a
button. There's nothing to sign up for.

finger if you intend to do
and
Everyday, 1 ayah. Thank you, sir. May Allah
make it easy for you. Friends, that's all
you gotta do. Touch the word. You get
David.
That's all you gotta do. Simon says, baby.
That's all you gotta do.
Now, we're gonna do 2 more.
Now, we're gonna do 2 more. Because as
soon as you start reading, what does your
auntie and shaitan whisper at the same time?
You don't know what it means.
What's the
What's the point? Hang on. For a culture
who listens to music, so all of the
songs we listen to all have meaning. Right?
Ella
Ella Ella Ella Ella. What the hella? Sella.
Farella.
Chinchalla.
Yeah. Is is that poetry?
10,000,000 records, 50,000,000 record. So this,
oh, but if I understood the Arabic, I
would memorize. So we're gonna pause on this
point too.
The theory that if you knew Arabic, you
would memorize and interact with the Quran
means, every Arab is hafiz.
You memorize the whole Quran?
No.
So, knowing Arabic is helpful but it's not
the end of the game.
Do you acknowledge 2 more steps?
Number 1, Tadaabr.
Allah azza wa jal twice in the Quran
and you can write it down, Surah Muhammad.
If you listen long enough, I'll tell you
what the Tadaabr is. I said the word,
dabbr. She immediately said, What's the dabbr? I'm
a speaker.
If I speak, you'll get it. To dabbr
friends, twice in the Quran, Surah Muhammad.
Surah Muhammad is what surah number?
47. Go to heaven.
Can you repeat after me? Can you say
Come on, friends. You'll get rid of me
in 3 minutes.
Why don't you contemplate on the Quran?
Can you imagine 200, 300 people in a
room went on pitch like this?
Y'all
don't realize that we could walk into a
room and I could say,
Allah
who saw mad.
Obey
the
law.
Lift the back of your tongue, the most
opera esque
esque
sound.
Press your lips together.
Y'all got no flavors. You got poutine, but
you got no flavor. Can you work with
me some fried cheese? Work with me.
Together.
Y'all are a tease. Y'all are a tease.
You recite perfect the second time, first time.
No
no
no speaking.
I know.
One more time.
The deep breath.
The title of my talk is Quran the
guidance.
Can you walk into a room of 500
people and go on pitch like this?
Did you ever experience that? Have you ever
been to Probably not. You've been to church?
Wrong crowd. Wrong day. Tomorrow.
Wrong chidba. That's tomorrow's chidba. Y'all have been
to That's the problem and I'm gonna pause
for a real topic here.
Real topic.
How many of you
beyond knowing he's not the son of god,
He's not the
son of God. Have no
intimate information about Jesus alaihis salat wa sallam.
I'll say it one more time. Oh, no.
Ladies, wow.
I The no had more mud on it
than I'm a person.
I got 3 daughters. I'm hypersensitive.
Okay. I hear
the from upstairs.
It's a lot.
One more time.
Snow
short, no mud. No big difference.
Quran, Tajweed.
I don't even remember what my question was.
Jesus
alayhis salat wa salam. If I said you
need more Jesus in your life,
what will you Astaghfirullah.
A child said Astaghfirullah.
Sold. Sold.
I'm sorry. Sorry to put you on No.
No.
And the guy next to him pointed at
him.
The guy next to him in a kufi
was like.
Loyalty.
Just hang on. When I said you need
more Jesus
in your life, the natural reaction of 12
year old Wissamastafurullah.
It would have been because
Jesus is not the son of God. Okay,
my love.
But what was he?
Prophet.
There are apparently other prophets. Okay. What else
was he?
A person.
No. Pause. Pause. Real talk. Adults.
Yes. I'm gonna make a real statement here.
Everyone said, why did God make belief so
difficult? Why couldn't God just break physical law?
Yes. The test test.
Great. Except with Jesus, did he test us?
Or did Allah
bring it to our level?
Allah,
God,
guys. Mary had a baby
immaculately
alayhis salatu wa sallam. Please remember this, friends,
she received revelation.
I'm not gonna rant on this now, but
how many of you would like more Isa
alaihis salam in your life? Allahumasallaihi salaam Muhammad.
Allahumasallaihi
salaam.
Raise your hand if you never said salawat
on Jesus alaihis salawat wa sallam. Don't you
lie on a Saturday evening. It's almost Sunday.
I swear to God.
So think about it for a second. And
I know you're thinking, what does that mean?
Do you know Jesus put his right shoe
on first?
So do you believe everything in the bible
is just
See? It's too easy.
Not everything.
So all of the morality held in Christianity
is just made up?
Get off your high horse.
Look at the things around us. The Quran
is saying the things that have been said.
So today,
translation
and
Quran. Thank you for the 2 and a
half minutes extra. Oh. Oh. I'm sorry. Only
last second. Last second. I don't do this.
I know. I know. I know. I'm old.
I don't. Could you do this with me
once? Thank you so much, Buna, for the
extra 2 minutes.
Simon says Oh, you guys are tough. Buna,
you live here. You deal with this. Okay.
Open your hands.
In your heart, baby. In your heart. The
angels are scared. In
your
heart.
If
you could take your mom and dad's names
in your hearts,
that was my applause.
And it's not a religious thing. I have
a sensitivity thing. I don't like sounds. So
that's why. It's not a religious thing. You
can clap as much as you want. I
don't like the sound.
